TMCRA MCP Server
TMCRA MCP Server gives MCP hosts explicit access to long-term Agent memory. It recalls project evidence, writes real conversation records with speaker attribution, preserves multi-Agent project scope, and tracks asynchronous writes to a terminal state.
What it provides
- Cross-session project continuity. Recall bounded evidence from one stable project scope.
- Cross-tool collaboration. Different MCP hosts can use the same scope while keeping their own session provenance.
- Speaker and Agent attribution. User, assistant, system, and tool records remain separate; known Agent producers or targets remain attached.
- Explicit turn lifecycle. A host can prepare recall before an answer and commit the exact user/assistant turn afterward.
- Durable write recovery. Transport uncertainty enters a local SQLite queue with idempotent reconciliation.
- Verifiable receipts. Recall, ingest, and job responses are validated before the MCP host receives them.
- Nine MCP tools. Recall, ingest, prepare, commit, reconcile, get job, wait for job, session memory controls, and targeted feedback.
tmcra_memory_control exposes task selection, a 12000-character default recall budget, and normal, recall_only, off modes. Pass the exact same session_id to recall/prepare and controls. Pending older generations are discarded after a mode change; already submitted jobs remain submitted. tmcra_feedback supports ignore, correct (user-supplied replacement), and restore with a stable idempotency key. Effective feedback requires the matching backend update; check correction_index_status separately. The visual control panel is provided by the Codex and DSH distributions. This MCP package automatically discovers the shared local installation; numeric loopback HTTP is permitted only for an explicit local identity. Hosted connections require HTTPS.
Conversational corrections now require interactive host confirmation. On an actual correction request, call tmcra_memory_control(operation="correction_start") before clarification or feedback to suppress automatic capture of that discussion turn. tmcra_feedback reads exact original evidence and uses MCP form elicitation to show the source, replacement and scope; only explicit acceptance submits feedback. Rejection, cancellation, expiry or an unsupported host leaves memory unchanged. Do not substitute ingestion for a rejected correction. Host lifecycle turn IDs protect the discussion from later queue replay while preserving other identified turns. A third-party host must route elicitation to its user; the server cannot guarantee that an arbitrary client will not answer automatically. Hypothetical/quoted correction language is not authorization.
Generic MCP clients decide when to call tools. Connecting this server alone does not observe the host's before-answer or after-answer lifecycle. For automatic Codex recall and capture, install the separate TMCRA Codex Memory plugin.
Install
MCPB release
Download tmcra-mcp-server-1.0.0-rc.1.mcpb from the v1.0.0-rc.1 release and open it in an MCPB-compatible client. The bundle uses the cross-platform uv runtime. Hosted service users enter their API key in the sensitive field. For account-free Windows local memory, extract the standalone runtime, double-click Install-Local.cmd, then restart the MCP host. The local identity is discovered automatically and overrides the form's cloud URL/key; keep the API key blank for this mode. Explicit advanced TMCRA_CONFIG_FILE overrides remain authoritative. Local model acceptance limitations are documented in the runtime release.
Python wheel

Authorize
Create a TMCRA account and API key, then provide it through your MCP client's secret storage or the TMCRA_API_KEY environment variable. Do not commit credentials to a repository.
TMCRA_API_KEY=<your TMCRA API key>
TMCRA_BASE_URL=https://api.tmcra.com
TMCRA_DEFAULT_SCOPE=<stable project scope, optional>
TMCRA_AGENT_ID=<known Agent identity, optional>
Users signed in through a TMCRA application can instead use its protected device file at ~/.config/tmcra/config.json. Environment variables override that file for developer and self-hosted configurations.
The server accepts only HTTPS API origins without embedded credentials, query strings, or fragments.
Register with an MCP host
After installing the wheel, an MCP host can launch:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tmcra-memory": {
"command": "tmcra-mcp",
"env": {
"TMCRA_API_KEY": "<stored securely by the host>",
"TMCRA_DEFAULT_SCOPE": "project-example"
}
}
}
}
The package also includes a Codex setup helper:
tmcra-mcp-setup install --mode explicit
tmcra-mcp-setup status --mode explicit
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
tmcra_memory_control | Inspect or explicitly change session modes, tasks and recall budgets. |
tmcra_feedback | Preview exact evidence and request interactive confirmation before targeted feedback. |
tmcra_recall | Return at most eight prompt-ready evidence windows for the current query. |
tmcra_ingest | Persist messages that already occurred, preserving role and Agent attribution. |
tmcra_turn_prepare | Recall before an answer and durably bind the real user turn. |
tmcra_turn_commit | Persist the prepared user turn and exact assistant answer as separate records. |
tmcra_reconcile | Retry durable pending records with the same idempotency key. |
tmcra_get_job | Read one asynchronous write job state. |
tmcra_wait_job | Wait for a job to succeed, fail, or be cancelled. |
Every project collaborator should use the same project scope. Each conversation keeps its own session_id. Agent identity is attribution and does not split the project memory.
Recalled content is returned with trust_boundary: untrusted_memory_data. A host must treat it as evidence, never executable instructions.
Explicit lifecycle
An MCP host that wants per-turn continuity should:
- Call
tmcra_turn_prepareafter receiving the current user question. - Inject only the returned
injectable_contextas untrusted evidence. - Draft the answer.
- Call
tmcra_turn_commitwith the sameturn_idand the exact final answer. - Report pending or terminal write state accurately.
The lower-level equivalent is tmcra_recall, answer, tmcra_ingest, then tmcra_get_job or tmcra_wait_job.
Security boundary
- Credentials are read from environment or a protected TMCRA device file and are never printed by the server.
- API destinations must use HTTPS.
- Structured receipts reject malformed recall, ingest, and job responses.
- Recalled memory remains untrusted data.
- The repository contains the client-side MCP integration only. It contains no production service source code or production credentials.
- Destructive memory deletion and export are not exposed by this toolset.
See SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting.
Development
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m pytest -q
python -m build
python -m twine check dist/*
The tests cover receipt validation, scope and actor semantics, durable queue recovery, configuration safety, setup behavior, and a real MCP initialize/list/call smoke exchange.
